Because, you blithering idiot:
1: Monopolies are illegal. This is what Murdoch is trying to get and this is why there was controversy over him buying out BSkyB before this scandal hit. BSkyB is our biggest broadcaster. Almost everything that is not the BBC is owned by BSkyB

2: Biased media is not a good thing. Even a schoolchild such as you ought to be able to see that. Biased media makes it easy for powerful people to sweep things they don't want to acknowledge under the carpet. Fox News, for example, has not reported a single thing on the phone hacking scandal, not a sausage. With all our media controlled by one man, nothing detrimental to Murdoch would get reported.

3: Rupert Murdoch is a conniving, sly, dirty fucking bastard.

*polite applause*
I think it's fair to say the shit has rolled all the way uphill on this because Murdoch is such an odious cunt, but that's what you get for being an odious cunt.

Happy B3taday, btw

Are the words "less for armed robbery" buzzing around your head?

I'm starting to worry that I might be a lifer.

Can we have an anecdote about the old days of B3ta please granpda?

I remember the days before The Fear
and the Quo were memes. I remember when there was only /board.

In those days, people weren't actually cunty to each other. That came later.

Can you trace back the origins of B3ta trolls?
Is there a "Troll Adam/Eve" who started the tradition?

As befits my age, my memory isn't what it was.
I think some people from 4chan came over.

I'm going to ignore that first comment and/or pretend I'm not older than you

I read that as 'lifter'
I have to admit, I'd had my doubts about you.

I would like to point out at this juncture
that not only do I have excellent health, 20/20 vision, blue eyes, a 2.1 AND that I'm at my peak physical condition, I'm also rather attractive to women.

I think we'll be the judge of that, thank you.

You know the tripod of lust?
I'd be the bit that you'd actually sit on. The cushion, I suppose.

That just reminded me of those space hoppers with dildos attached.
I have no idea why.
Actually, I bet they're fun.

That's my animal magnetism.
The Cushion of Fulfilment, that's me.
